Goat Island

After more than a day of progress, he finally managed to find the ship of the Alvida Pirates. Along the way, he developed a great sage ability. This enabled him to use a new skill, [Water Blade], on many sea monsters encountered on the way.

This skill allowed him to create an incredibly sharp water blade. With this attack, he easily sliced through the sea monsters he encountered, dividing them in two with a single strike, and then devoured them using the [Predator] ability.

Although this attack was powerful, it consumed a high amount of energy due to the lack of magical power in this world. Despite not feeling fatigue due to his slime body, there was a possibility of issues if the ability was used excessively. Fortunately, after consuming many sea monsters on the way, the energy in his body increased significantly, allowing him to use the ability comfortably without problems.

During this process, Yogiri adapted well to his observation haki, becoming highly sensitive to detecting entities. While floating next to the ship, he started to measure the strength of the pirates on the ship with his haki. Their powers seemed quite weak, even average compared to the monsters on the island. Only one of them appeared slightly stronger, likely Alvida herself. For now, he decided to wait without doing anything by the ship to avoid changing anything. According to his estimate, Luffy would be here in the barrel within a few days.

Fortunately, my [Multiverse Door] ability brought me to a very favorable time, giving me more control over the course of events. If I had arrived a few years later, I wouldn't have been able to move so freely.

After several days of tracking the ship, it finally approached Goat Island. During this time, Yogiri continuously tracked the vicinity of the ship with his observation haki, devouring nearby sea monsters to continue increasing his strength.

"Finally, the day has come. I've been waiting for you for days," Yogiri said as he moved in the sea with his blue slime body, seeing the barrel approaching the ship. With his observation haki, he knew there should be a person inside the barrel, and he could sense that his strength was much higher than the captain on the ship.

Yogiri moved his body towards the barrel, and using the [Predator] ability, he swallowed the barrel completely.

[Grate Sage] examines the abilities of the swallowed being and copies its abilities.

<Approved. The analysis of the swallowed being has begun... time may vary depending on analyzed being...>

With the reminder from the great sage, Yogiri headed towards Goat Island, which was nearby. After a few minutes of progress, he arrived at the island. This deserted island had been recently used as a base by the Alvida Pirates. There were only a few simple huts on the island.

After arriving on the island, Yogiri jumped onto the top of the hut in front of him and began to wait. Despite being reborn, he almost never rested. Although his body did not need rest, he felt mentally exhausted. First, he hunted the strange animals on the island, then continuously hunted sea monsters.

It was quite challenging for him as he had never killed even a bug before. Although he felt quite sad while hunting animals, he knew he had to do it to gain strength and take control of his life.

He was fortunate enough to have a second chance, and he didn't want to waste it. Despite doctors saying it was impossible for him to live past the age of five, he continued to struggle for twenty years with a strong will to persevere, no matter how difficult it might be
